摘要：A collaborative B2B relationship implies jointly executing business processes.
This relationship demandsa complete access to available information and
knowledge to support decision-making activities betweentrading partners. To
support information interchange between enterprises in collaborative B2B
e-commerce there are some XML-based standards technologies, like RosettaNet,
ebXML and OAGIS.However, XML does not express semantics by itself. So, these
standards only provide an infrastructure tosupport the information interchange.
They are suitable to integrate information but not to supportdecision-making
activities where a common understanding of the information is needed. In this
paper weanalyze the integration of these standards with ontology to describe the
meaning of the information andknowledge interchanged between trading partners to
jointly execute business processes. Furthermore, wedefine the main components of
an ontology development environment to support the entire ontologylifecycle.
